Subject: [R] change location of temporary files
I would like to change where R stores the temporary files to my external hard

huge and I do not have enough available space in my internal HD.

tempfile has a dir parameter that you can use to designate the directory

creates are huge and I do not have enough available space in my internal
HD. Again, this is for macOS.
